Ben Nevis and the Aonach Eagach


Internet is proving to be more difficult to find more recently, however we are now using the free internet at the Clachaig Inn in Glen Coe. 2 days ago we had a good day. Catching the first train from Fort William to Tulloch Station and walking back to Fort Bill over some impressive peaks and ridges. Taking in 10 Munros, finishing on Ben Nevis and down the tourist track. We were surprised to see hundreds (no exaggeration) of walkers/3 peakers and tourists on the top of 'The Ben' at 8pm! It must have been busy on the top at midday with people trying to get away from the Jubilee celebrations. Yesterday we slept in until midday, so our plan to do the Mamores (another 10 peak day) had to be abandoned, so we decided to drive to Bridge of Orchy and have a fairly short day in order to recover, We still manged 5 Munros. Today we planned to meet with our friend,, Matt Dudman, in the afternoon to do the, famous Aonach Eagach ridge. We decided to nip up a the Ballachulish ridge o do another 2 Munros. As I write this we are sat in the Clachaig Inn eating steak and getting tipsy from one pint of ale, prematurely, celebrating completing our 100th peak, which we should do tomorrow.
